 Treats can also be thrown at hostile [[domestic animal]]s (cats, dogs and horses) to tame them.  However, contrary to a common misconception, treats are ''not'' required for this; any food item that the animal can eat will do, unless it splats (egg, melon, cream pie).  For example, dogs can be tamed with food rations, pancakes or royal jelly, and horses can be tamed with garlic or vegan corpses. See [[Diet#Pets]] for an exhaustive list.
